FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for playing sports?
These PUMA Smash 3.0 Glitz Glam V PS Sneakers are primarily designed for casual everyday wear and light play. While they offer comfort and support for general activities, they are not specialized sports performance shoes for rigorous athletic training.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and refer to PUMA's official size chart for kids' footwear. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe slips off.
Can these shoes be washed in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to wash these sneakers in a washing machine. The glitter material and synthetic leather can be damaged by machine washing. Always follow the gentle spot cleaning instructions provided.
Is the glitter durable or will it all come off?
The glitter material is designed to be reasonably durable for casual wear. While some minimal shedding is normal over time, especially with friction, proper care and gentle handling will help maintain its appearance.
Do these sneakers provide good arch support?
The SOFTFOAM+ sockliner provides excellent cushioning and comfort for daily wear. For specific arch support needs, you may consult with a pediatrician or consider if an additional, thin, child-appropriate insole is suitable.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These sneakers are not waterproof. They are designed for dry conditions. Exposure to heavy rain or puddles should be avoided to protect the materials and prolong the shoe's life.
Troubleshooting
Glitter appears to be coming off.
Some minimal glitter shedding is normal with wear. To minimize it, avoid scrubbing the glitter material when cleaning and be gentle during daily use. Ensure shoes are handled and stored carefully.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.
Check the sizing to ensure it's appropriate for your child's foot. Also, ensure the V-strap is adjusted correctly – not too tight or too loose. Wearing suitable socks can also improve comfort.
Shoes get dirty quickly.
The light color options may show dirt more easily. Implement a routine of gentle wiping with a damp cloth after wear to keep them clean. Avoid wearing them in excessively muddy or harsh conditions.
V-strap is losing its grip.
Over time, hook-and-loop fasteners can collect lint or debris, reducing their grip. Clean the hooks and loops with a stiff brush or a piece of tape to remove any accumulated particles, which should restore grip.
Shoes make feet sweaty.
The synthetic upper might limit breathability compared to mesh. Ensure your child wears moisture-wicking or breathable socks. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears.

Care Instructions
Proper care helps maintain the look and longevity of your glitter sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For general dirt, gently wipe the synthetic leather and glitter portions with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, especially on the glitter, as this can cause it to wear off.
- Spot Treatment: For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution mixed with water. Apply sparingly with a cloth and wipe clean. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry shoes at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
- Glitter Care: To minimize glitter shedding, avoid rubbing the glitter excessively. If some glitter comes off, it's normal over time.
- Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place when not in use.
